Jan, Thanks for your comments. That wikipedia Spill article describes my
issue very well. That is, you got my request exactly right (despite my
signal vs sample terminology hassle). Anyway, I have two mics (
https://www.piksu.com/eps/tmp/mic1.wav  and
https://www.piksu.com/eps/tmp/mic2.wav) and audible spill in both. I want
to remove the spill from both. I am able to remove the spill in this
specific case (with outstanding results) for example for mic1.wav with
commands
sox mic2.wav mic2id.wav pad 0.0115 0 vol -0.13
sox -m -v 1 mic1.wav -v 1 mic2id.wav mic1clean.wav stat
i.e. by inverting the other mic and mixing that _at suitable_ point in time
and suitable power to the signal to be cleaned. The problem is that finding
those values ("point in time" 0.0115 and power/"volume" -0.13) is
cumbersome. Basically, I am after a command to find one given signal
embedded in another given signal. Finding means finding the starting point
in time and the volume of the to-be-removed signal.
regards, Mikk00
